Locally recorded with AmaRec using a GV-USB2 capture card.
Going to have to do nothing but the riskiest stuff from here on out.

Only now realizing now, nearly 30 years later that Sparkster sheds a single tear when he defeats Axel Gear 😢

Such an amazing run! This looked good enough to be a TAS! I’m amazed!

[@richarddavis2530]

Fantastic run! I played this through dozens and dozens of times as a kid, so I could do some bits pretty quick, but I had no idea that some of this stuff was even possible, like beating the fish boss or the airplane admiral robot boss in one loop! Particularly impressed by the routing used to lose as much health as possible without losing time in order to save on the results screen.

[@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274]

if you get really close to the bosses it does huge damage i worked that out as a kid but the real challenge in this game for me was the harder difficulties.

5:03 how r they dying without using the sword?

[@5hadax]

For some reason they die when they overlap with you but their hitbox is further back to the left so they get hit but you don't. That's why it doesn't work on the same spawns from the right side as well.

[@Thorvald9666]

@@5hadax I vaguely remember letting a few go and they all died simultaneously. I think the level just kills them once you reach the end of that event.

Is this the Japanese version cause I only have the American version.

[@jaru4564]

Nope. Ironically, this is the European version... even though EU Mega Drive games (or, at least EU versions of MD/Genesis games) tend to be the ones that run the SLOWEST. But apparently that isn't the case for this game, since it appears to run just as fast as the US & JP versions.

[@pixelblut4173]

@@jaru4564 nope, this is legit the US Version because it runs at 60Hz. The EU Version is slower and runs at 50Hz. Also all the Rocket Knight Adventures games are Regio Locked, so you cannot force a EU Version game to 60Hz. I own the Original EU and Japanese Versions of the game. When I record with real Sega Mega Drive Hardware, the Japanese Version has the same window aspect ratio like this run, you also see the blueish bars in the first level like this run, means it is legit a 60Hz game. When I record the EU 50Hz version with real hardware, you can see more blueish colours on the top and bottom of the game in the first level than the Japanese/US Version ones.

@@pixelblut4173 Ah, sorry. I just saw there were borders and I immediately thought "Why is he using the EU version?". My apologies. (And yes I am aware that I'm 2 months late)
